Washington Roundtable responds to Boeing announcement regarding second 787 line

SEATTLE – October 28, 2009 – “Washington state faces an important challenge.  We need to work even harder to make the changes necessary to make our state more competitive, or we will lose more family wage jobs in today’s highly competitive global economy.

We know what the most pressing problems are when it comes to improving our state’s economic climate.  All of us – government, business and labor – must join together to retool our economy and create more good jobs.  We are committed to renewing our efforts to make Washington attractive to employers.”

Steve Mullin, President, Washington Roundtable
